 Russell has a card for the birthday girl |
An animal lover has invited the whole of his village to a 21st birthday party for his pet cow. Russell Cowling, 38, from Swinefleet, near Goole, is holding the bash for his heifer, known as "Owd Cow".
He bought her for �27 from a cattle market when she was just a day old.
Since then, Russell says she has become "part of the family".
To mark her 21st, the entire village is invited to a party at Swinefleet Social Club.
Russell said: "It started off as a joke with my mates on the docks.
"They all know I have a cow and when I told them how old she was, someone suggested throwing a party.
"Everybody in the village is invited and there will be a blind auction with people bidding for the cow's presents.
"All the proceeds will go towards the village hall which is in need of repair."
